CIGAR-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,070, dated November'7, 1882.

Application filed February 23, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, FRIEDRICIIWILHELM FRANKIE, ot' the city ofFinsterwalde, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Cigar-Holders, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 2 is alongitudinalsectional view of apart of section of my cigar-holder, Fig. 3 is an endview; Fig. 4, a side elevation; Fig. 5, a longitudinal sectional view ofa modification of my cigar-holder; Fig. 6, a side elevation of saidmodification.

Similar letters of reference denote like parts.

The object of my invention is to provide a cigar-holder which willpurify the smoke and prevent the nicotine and essential oils of thetobacco from entering the mouth of the smoker, and which may be readilytaken apart and cleaned; also, a cigar-holder thelength of which can beincreased or diminished by putting in or removing one or more of thesections of which it is composed.

My cigar-holder is composed of several sections or parts fitting oneintothe other, a mouthpiece, and a tip or holder proper for the cigar, thewhole forming a cigar-holder having a tube or channel for the passage ofthe smoke alternately narrowing and widening through its entire length,which alternate narrowing and widening of the channel forms chambershaving narrow openings from one to the other. In the drawings, Arepresents the complete cigar-holder; B, the mouth-piece. 0O Care theseveral parts or sections composing the holder; D, the tip or holder forthe cigar.

The mouth-piece B is formed with an enlarged opening at its forward end,of proper size to receive the small or rear end of the first section orpart of the cigar-holder.

The sections 0 are of similar form, each section,however, increasing insize from the mouthpiece to the tip, the sections, when joined together,forming a conical-shaped cigar-holder. Each of the sections 0 aretubular in form, and on their outer side taper gradually from the point0 to the point 0, being from this point sharply contracted to the point0 and being more gradually contracted from this point to the point 0 andforming a shoulder against which the outer edge of the preceding sectionrests, and being again gradually tapered from the point 0 to the rearend, 0 and being of a proper size to fit the opening in the forward endof the preceding section, the inside of said tubular section beingcontracted sharply from the point 0 to the point-e, and more graduallycontracted to the point e to fit against the shoulder of thefollowingsection, and taperinggradully inward from thepoint e to thepoint 6 and being againsharply contracted from the point e to the pointcand forming the narrow channel d, and tapering gradually outward fromthe point e to the rear outer end, 0 and which contractions, togetherwith the corresponding contractions of the other sections, form thealternately narrowing and widening channel for the passage of the smoke,and form the chambers E and narrow openings (1, as shown in Fig. 1,which chambers serve to collect the nicotine and essential oils of thetobacco during the passage of the smoke through the chan nel of theholder.

The tip or holder for the cigar has a portion, D, of the proper size tofit into the forward opening of the last section, a narrow opening, d,and an enlarged opening to receive the end of the cigar.

Amodification of my invention is as follows: The sections may be made ofthe same size and form a cylindrical holder, as shown in Fig. 5, and maybe of any number of sections desired. In this modification of'myinvention the cigarholder may beincreased ordiminished in length bytaking out or putting in any number of sections. The several sectionsabove described. are adjustedone in the other, and form the completeholder.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new- 1. A cigar-holdercomposed of several tubular sections or parts, having the contractionson theirouterside forming the shoulder against which the end of thepreceding section tits, and having the contractions on their inner sideforming the end to fit against the shoulder of the following section,and a further contraction forming the narrow openings (1, and whichcontractions on the inner side,taken in connection with thecorresponding contractions of the other sections, form the alternatelynarrowing and widening channel for the passage of the smoke,substantially as described.

2. In a cigar-holder, the combination of the several tubular sections orparts, having the contractions and tapering on their outer and innersides, with themmuth-piece and tip or 10 holder for the cigar,substantially as described. In testimony whereof I have signed my nameto this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
